Have you guys heard the one about New Democratic Party leader Thomas Mulcair?

Yeah, me neither. Before today, I had no idea New Democratic Party leader Thomas Mulcair existed, but he seems like someone who our Canadian friends might have a joke all lined up for. Guys, if you don’t, at least tell me he’s not a terrible person, because he’s now my favorite Canadian politician after he made a fantastic Arrested Development reference while giving a speech about anti-terrorism spending to the House of Commons yesterday.

For those who can’t watch the video, he said, “Is the money just in the wrong filing cabinet? Is it hidden in the minister’s gazebo? Or is the money in the banana stand?” Haha, “minister’s gazebo.” Oh, Canada. Anyway, this is a tact all politicians should use. If a slimy mayor decided it was now legal for you to use birds as garbage disposals, like on The Flintstones, I’d forgive him if he said, “I’m afraid I have something of a mess on my hands.”

He is awesome, and he took over for an even more awesome man, Jack Layton. Jack died of prostate cancer shortly after an amazing run during our last election. You guys would love him too….his symbol during the election was a mustache. Unfortunately, our current pm is creepy and super sketchy…hence the missing $3 billion.

While Furher Harper is definitely corrupt as shit, the time period of when the money started to go missing began with the Liberals. And if you remember how corrupt Martin was, you know at least half a billion went while he was in charge.

We’re pretty easily distracted by pop culture references up here. While in office, Jean Chrétien was questioned about contradicting statements he had made in the House of Commons and when asked to tell the truth he responded “The truth is out ‘dere!”. This was of course during the height of The X-Files’ popularity, so we kept him as PM for a decade because of it

By the way, for the Americans watching this video, this is called a “Parliament” and it’s where people gather to go over issues and can question each other on issues. It’s like your own version of the House of Representatives, but superior in every single way possible.

The “minister’s gazebo” comment was more of a bitch slap to the government than the “banana stand” comment. The government spent millions of dollars on gazebos and shit in a riding where they needed to win a couple years ago
